Raid Auctus

Media
Raid Auctus tasks you with assembling and upgrading a squad from twenty character classes while the game progresses offline. You'll enhance your team through permanent upgrades and prestige mechanics, watching them tackle raids automatically. However, early-game pacing quickly gives way to balance issues and scaling problems that trivialize content, leaving limited endgame depth for most players.

What players are saying
The pacing of the first hour or so is nice, but it very quickly scales out of control and makes all the content trivial.
The game has great concepts, but the execution is for now, terrible.
You get incrementally more resources as you progress, but each unlocks scale in a linear fashion.
What ends up happening?
Well you unlock one new hero in 5 minutes, the second in 2, the third in 1, and so on.
Same goes with the prestige system, as the rewards are hard to get at the start, but once you unlock them, you're already on your way to unlock every prestige bonus in a few minutes.
So basically the game's progression system is flawed at its very core.
Also new hero unlocks don't feel unique enough, if there was an improvement to their unlocks to make it actually exponential, they will feel like meaningless upgrades, as their damage is the same as previous heroes, and all their upgrade costs and bonus are the same as previous heroes and scale in a linear fashion.
To conclude, this is a game that wants to be incremental but doesn't grasps the core aspects of its own genre. Wait for it to be fixed before buying. Hopefully the developer seems very involved with the game and is currently working with all the feedback he got.
